The daughter of a noble family is reborn, and she is doted on by her godmother.

"Oh? How did you figure that out?" Yun Qingjin roughly knew what her daughter wanted to say, but still wanted to guide the child to speak for herself.

"It was mainly the impression given by the servant who came in the middle. When that servant came in, Old Deng seemed to speak much softer, and the servant also seemed quite fierce. He glared at Old Deng, and Old Deng didn't bother with him anymore."

Yun Yuke nodded.

"Before being confident, then being respectful, it makes one laugh when thinking about it."

The mother and daughter smiled as they thought about what the man looked like, but quickly changed their attitude.

"Mother, I think this guy is really difficult to deal with. We tricked this old man today, what are we going to do if he comes back again?"

Yun Yuke patted her daughter, "Don't be afraid, we'll just handle it normally. If he says our things are too expensive, just take out our standard price list. Anyway, the final price is up to your mother."

Over the years, Yanchun Pavilion has developed a suitable business strategy, namely a "price list" that is generally recorded at high prices. The prices listed are usually unacceptable to most people, leaving room for negotiation.

Of course, Yun Yuke didn't set the price arbitrarily. Craftsmanship is inherently expensive, but the key is that the artisans at Yanchun Pavilion have superb skills and produce no waste, which effectively saves costs.

Therefore, Yanchun Pavilion's service has always been considered by many to be very comprehensive.

"Okay, Qingqing understands!"

"However, we must still remember that it's best if Aunt Hua stays at home these next few days." Yun Yuke recalled the image of Aunt Hua holding Liu Zhou'er that she had dreamed about years ago. She didn't know when it happened, but given the premise of having a precognitive dream, Yun Yuke couldn't afford to relax.

"Mother, I feel like you're paying special attention to Aunt Hua's matter. Is there some special reason?"

Looking at her daughter's face, Yun Yuke thought for a moment and then told her about her past precognitive dreams.

Similar situations had occurred before, and Yun Qingjin didn't think there was anything wrong with it after hearing it.

If you can be reborn, it's quite normal to have such precognitive dreams.

In addition, Yun Yuke also told Yun Qingjin about the situation she had investigated at Yunxing Inn.

"So, Mother, you just saw that old Deng really does have a new wife and a new child, right?"

When Yun Qingjin thought of this, her tone became more resentful.

"That ungrateful wretch! Aunt Hua was right not to go with him! The new wife..."

"It's really not a good situation. If this person had just gone missing, it might have been easier to handle. But the problem is that this person already has another family and a stronger backer."

Marquis of Ankang.

When the Yun family first arrived in Changgan, they learned about some of the local powerful figures, the most important of whom was the "Marquis of Ankang".

Near Changgan City is the fiefdom of the Marquis of Ankang. According to the regulations of the imperial court, although the Marquis of Ankang is just an ordinary marquis, he has a close relationship with Changgan City and has done a lot of good things in Changgan City before, so he is considered a typical representative in the local area.

Therefore, the officials of Changgan City respected this local marquis, and merchants and other people would generally visit him.

This is a common requirement for business people. The people of Yunfu are already used to building good relationships with the locals. Yunfu's main business is in industries that affect people's livelihoods, such as jewelry and cloth shops, so it is easy for them to communicate well with all kinds of people.

There weren't too many problems at first.

However, after spending some time with him, Yun Yuke gained a deeper understanding of the identity and background of Marquis Ankang, Deng Jixiang, and the people of the Yun family discovered a crucial problem.

This person's surname is Deng, and the inexplicable sense of pride in this family stems from the Empress Dowager, who also shares the surname Deng.

This is no secret; a little inquiry reveals that this Marquis of Ankang, Deng Jixiang, is the nephew of Empress Dowager Deng.

She was the Empress Dowager whom Yun Qingjin remembered from her previous life, the one who issued an edict of self-reproach.

Yun Qingjin was still conflicted, unable to tell Yun Yuke and Sister Yuan Chen about her past life. She wanted to speak but didn't know how.

However, Yun Yuke was more perceptive than Yun Qingjin had anticipated, and this godmother herself noticed the unusual situation of the Empress Dowager.

During a sudden incident, Yun Yuke discovered some clues.

Although the servants of the Marquis of Ankang were generally polite, the Marquis of Ankang's household displayed the unique shrewdness of the nobility, relying on their powerful backers.

It was a festive banquet organized by the Marquis of Ankang, inviting some wealthy and powerful elders and merchants from the vicinity of Changgan. Everyone enjoyed the banquet together, eating, drinking, sipping tea, and appreciating the scenery.

As a result, during the banquet, a servant accidentally placed a plate of something that Marquis Ankang disliked in front of him. As a result, Marquis Ankang immediately imprisoned the servant in the jail within his own residence.

The servant's wife wanted to plead for him, but she was stopped. The reason was that whoever pleaded for him would be sent away by Marquis Ankang.

Later, Yun Yuke inquired and learned that although the servant who had done wrong was sent back, he was mentally confused. Although there were no obvious external injuries on his body, he had lost a lot of weight and had become a madman.

There are many similar cases. This Marquis of Ankang disliked harming people's bodies and was even more accustomed to inflicting mental torture.

They take pleasure in toying with people.

The only redeeming quality is that this marquis didn't engage in such behavior every day. Under normal circumstances, he maintained a degree of calm and rationality.

It must be that the Marquis would only do such a thing if he wanted to embarrass him.

Such behavior essentially made him a local tyrant. Someone tried to report these actions to higher authorities, but that person was also punished.

From then on, for safety reasons, the Yun family proactively reduced its transactions with Marquis Ankang, only engaging in necessary transactions and absolutely refraining from excessive ones.

Even when delivering goods, Yun Qingjin and others are not allowed to go. If there is any special business, Yun Yuke will deliver the goods herself.

In the past year or so, nothing major has happened.

Moreover, in the past year or so, no similar incidents have occurred on Marquis Ankang's side, or rather, no similar incidents have been reported.

This doesn't mean the marquis changed his ways, but rather that his interests changed, and he took a liking to business. He opened a restaurant in the city, which, as anyone who's been there knows, is a brothel.

The Marquis himself led a team out to trade goods.

Yun Qingjin had also heard about the various deeds of Marquis Ankang. Although her memories of her previous life were somewhat hazy, she couldn't help but take the list of misdeeds in the Empress Dowager's edict of self-reproach seriously.

The Empress Dowager's power is still dominant in the country, and she is very strong among the maternal relatives, even stronger than the current Empress's family.

This is also a situation where the Yun family dares not offend them now.

"Mother, do you think this Marquis Ankang... he might stand up for that Old Man Liu and help snatch Sister Zhou'er away from Aunt Hua?"

Yun Yuke thought for a moment, then shook her head helplessly.

"With his strength, it's hard to say what he'll do next. The most crucial thing is how much Liu Jie means to Marquis Ankang. If he only sees him as an ordinary brother-in-law... perhaps he'll help him deal with this?"
